Sonny Perdue: Responsibility is to leave the land better than we found it

As a youngster growing up on a dairy and diversified row crop farm in rural Georgia, it was the family farm which shaped Sonny Perdue.

He learned by experience what his father told him as a child, "If you take care of the land, the land will take care of you."

Mick Mulvaney: You can't drain the swamp and leave all the people in it

For example, in June 2017, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke initiated a temporary hiring freeze for most National Park Service personnel that prevented numerous parks from filling key positions. Zinke said at that time that he planned to cut his workforce by 4,000 employees, roughly 8% of Interior's full-time staff.

In May, at a time when park staff were already stretched thin, Zinke ordered law enforcement staff from national parks across the country to two parks on the US-Mexico border. Zinke has not provided justification for an increase in law enforcement staff at the border at a time of historically low border crossing apprehensions.
